I resided in Hansberry which was a typical dorm room and in ASL which was clean but often noisy.

Academic Rigor

Very easy classes. Not a lot of major options As an AP student from California, academics was extremely easy.

Tips for prospective students

If you're of a minority here at Lincoln, it is fun, but everyone will know what you do and what happens in your life.

In three sentences

The school is small and does what it can with a limited budget. As a student athlete, I felt under-appreciated and underfunded. Across the board, the people want the school to do well, but have poor leadership that ends up failing them.

Khayree from Philadelphia, PA

Campus public safeties are good. Some times you will hear someone say they be in the way but they have to do their jobs so that everyone here is safe.

Greek Life

The Greek life seems awesome. The brother and sister hoods have a bond like no other.

What to do for fun

Every here and there the school hosts a party or some type of social event, which is good for the students getting to know each other. We have sports teams and their games always seem to be a good way to have fun.

Food and Dining

The food here is kind of nasty. I mean it would really depend on what you like to eat. The school is actually in the process of building a KFC on campus in the cafe so we would actually have more options. Plus we have different events around campus that usually serve different food. We also have a separate cafe that serves a variety of foods which is good.

Dorm Life

The dorm life for freshman sucks, but a few of our dorm halls are being renovated so the school is trying to change that. The dorm life for many upperclassmen is great. Most upperclassmen have single apartment style living dorms. Are dorms are monitored by live in RA's and RC's. They watch over us make sure we have everything that we need and make sure we are safe from any dangers.

Academic Rigor

The class are good, they have to be the right class for the student though. They will put you exactly where you need to be so the work will not be too easy but just right. Not too hard but challenging. We also have professional, peer, and online tutoring free on campus.

Tips for prospective students

Lincoln will do for you what you want it to. When I say this I really mean it. If you want a education they can give you that. If you want to party and play everyday you can find that. And if you want an education and to party at the same time then you can get that here to.

In three sentences

Lincoln is a great school, and has a great family like environment. At Lincoln he staff really try to work with you. Everyone is always in a good mood and is very friendly.

Campus safety is great on campus. you will definitely be safe at Lincoln. Public safety is on patrol making sure the campus gas year around safety.

Greek Life

Greek life is big on campus, but honestly that was never my interest, yet i personally know someone i went to high school with who is now a member a specific organization and i can see how good pf a feeling that is to have completed that process.

Clubs and Activities

There are many clubs and activities to do around campus, however one that stands out to me the most is Black Men in America. This group focuses on an Afrocentric view at the same time trying to enlighten Lincoln students about the societies view on black men as a whole and ways to better ourselves. A group that participates in this heavily is The Grooves which is a social fellowship group on campus basically, the opposite of the Greek concepts.

Great for these types of students

Lincoln is great for students who want to experience college and earn a degree as well. Education is great and the student life is illuminating more each year.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Lincoln has a chapel on campus that students and people within the community are allowed to attend. the significance behind this is the fact that Lincoln's first president personally funded churches construction years ago, which is still today a place with great history.

Bang for the buck

Lincoln is the cheapest choice for most students next to a community college. the only difference is Lincoln comes with all of the things a traditional university offers.

Food could be better, but most people exaggerate a bit about the food in my opinion. If you want a more desirable and appealing meal you may have to add the extras yourself. Lincoln also has a good variety of foods for a vegan student.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is a great experience because in some instances you actually build a tight relationship with a neighbor or roommate. Remember: No matter what happens you''ll always remember your first roommate regardless of the circumstances.

Academic Rigor

The way the professor teaches the class is different than high school. For one a teacher will not be on top of you to do work like in high school, the willingness to complete work is up to the individual. STUDYING is essential in college because there will be quizzes in some courses every week, and multiple choice is rarely used in a professor's teaching concept.

Tips for prospective students

-I would tell a future Lincoln lion to restrain from obsessive partying especially when you haven't even grasped your material yet -Work on your time management in case you do want to have your fun, but still earn A's Try to get involved more on campus early to build a stronger resume, and become more marketable whether you want to join organizations on campus or express interest in Greek.

In three sentences

Lincoln is a fairly cheap school, however the education has no equivalence to that of the tuition price. You'll earn a degree in excellent major courses that Lincoln offers such as Health Science, Criminal justice, Mass Communications, and Music only if the work is displayed.

Stephanie Brown from Philadelphia, PA

Campus safety has been at its highest for the last two years, thanks to our Public Safety. They dont play any games towards keeping our camous a dry community

The teavhers are very hard but are so willing to help, as long as you want the help. The work is very challenging and it makes you question so much more and look forward to the next course. The academic is very high at school.

Tips for prospective students

There might be so many parties and things going on, but the main thing to remain on your mind, stay focused. You can easy get side tracked, which could possibly become the downfall of a college experience.

In three sentences

Angela from Lincoln University, PA

All of the sororities and fraternities are amazing; they truly do represent sisterhood as well as brotherhood. That is one of my favorite things about greek life here at Lincoln University.

What to do for fun

Lincoln Pride from DE

The food is okay in the Cafe. But soon, students will be able to get food from starbucks, Subway, and but food from our sandwich shop located in the Student Union Building (SUB).

Dorm Life

It all depends on where a person live ad the people surrounding that person. Also, it is the student job to make their dorm life experience good and memorable.

Academic Rigor

Im pretty satisfied with the academics at Lincoln university. Of course I only know much about the courses I myself have taken. As I entered Lincoln, some of the classes were challenging (all depends on which one a person takes) but I expected nothing less. Professors make the classes great. The workload is not overly packed and the professors encourage us to engage. As far as registration goes I believe there could be an easier way.

Tips for prospective students

Work hard, Study, Go to Class, and get involved with the campus. It's a family environment. Everything seems to work out fine.

In three sentences

Lincoln University for the part is a good well rounded school with a few exception. The drinking policy on campus is a little extreme and could be a little more lenient in school. One problem i feel strong about that should change is the lack of free activities that students can participate with out public safety shutting down innocent independent crowd gathering. Another aspect about Lincoln that can spoil your experience here is the lack of help that you receive from the financial aid office. And when i state that i mean in terms of limited financial assistance options for students with a a low family income. There are some aspects at Lincoln University that could be improve but i believe that given time this school could be a amazing institute.

Lincoln offer a lot of clubs, and activities. Here is a list of a few: Gospel Choir Concert Choir Biology Club Spanish Club International Club Japaneses Club Debate Team Boys 2 Men Women Club Bible Study Muslim Noon Day Prayer

Great for these types of students

This is a school for students who don't want to go to a big school. Lincoln in a small school.

One thing I like about the food service is you can eat all day 7a-12am. There are no set number of meals per week, and it buffet style eating.

Dorm Life

There is currently only one building with air conditioning. If you have asthma, or a medical condition that requires you to have air, you need to fill out special paper work. Also, freshman students are not offer single rooms.

Academic Rigor

The professors at Lincoln are excellent. they offer a variety of accommodating office hours. They are approachable, and understanding. They offer a challenging curriculum,

My tip for prospective students is to please do your research. If you are really interested in Lincoln check out the website: www.Lincoln.edu. Also. call and schedule a camps tour: 484-365-8081

Tips for prospective students

The area is the main concern for Lincoln University because it is rural around the campus. It allows students to put more focus into school rather than other areas of the college life.

What to do for fun

To do ANYTHING fun off campus requires travel. The campus is located in an extremely rural area. On campus, it is up to the student to make their own fun. The only campus sanctioned fun provided are the parties.

Food and Dining

The food service isn't horrible but it isn't worth the price we have to pay. There is no option for meal plans, all students that reside on campus get an unlimited meal plan. Meaning you can go to the cafe as many times as you please in a day. The food service tries to maintain a healthy food selection, while also providing the option for fast food style foods.

Dorm Life

I live in the standard dorm. With the communal shower and bathroom and have a roommate. There is an option to live in the Apartment Style Living building which features suites. That option is only open to upperclassmen and you must have a certain GPA to live there. This dorm also cost more than all the other dorms on campus. I personally feel that specific dorm isn't worth the extra money only because it does not receive wifi connection .

Academic Rigor

The rigor truly depends on the professor, your major and the class. Many classes present challenge due to the work the professor assigns. Some professors are too lenient and seem to simply pass the students on.

I have had the food in the cafeteria once, and it was good. There was a good variety of items to eat. I like the fact that it is open until 12 at night.

Campus Safety

Lincoln University has officers all throughout the campus called Public Safety where they do rounds on the campus especially on weekends to make sure students remain safe. Crime rates on campus are very low.

Greek Life

The Divine 9 is active on campus excluding Kappa Psi Phi at the moment. Lincoln University also has Swing Phi Swing Social Sorority along with Grove Phi Grove Fraternity. Each organization has their own week where they have activities all throughout the week for students to come and participate, ending with a party on Saturday.

Lincoln University has a spot on campus outside of the cafeteria called the U which is a place where all the students hang out when it's nice outside and get students interacting with one another and having lots of fun.

Bang for the buck

The Student Union Building and the Library stay open until midnight which can be a great advantage for students who need to study and do homework later outside of their rooms.

What to do for fun

There are parties at least twice a month on Fridays and Saturdays. Organizations hold forums and activities throughout the week which keep students busy and out of trouble.

Food and Dining

The food is very repetitive, but it is all you can eat and closes as late as 2am. Dinner time around 6pm or 7pm is the best time to go and eat because there are lots of people hanging out and many times when there is an event coming up they have music playing as well.

Dorm Life

Pay your room deposit on time or you will be left in a dorm you may not prefer. You have the choice of having either a single or double room. Living in the dorms is a great advantage because you have direct access to all the on campus events and it gives you more of a chance to meet lots of people outside of the classroom.

Academic Rigor

While the library and computer labs are great places to go and study and do homework, sometimes it can be a very distracting place when there are a lot of people in there at one time. Students tend to play loud music, hold loud conversations, and come in and out many times. If you are a person who doesn't get bothered or distracted by these kinds of things, then you will be perfectly fine but if not staying in your room and getting it done may be the best place for you.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure to purchase a pair of rain boots because when it rains, it floods too. Be sure to get involved in as many extracurricular activities as possible because it's very easy to become bored.

Campus Safety

We have PUB which is Public Safety. They periodically walk around the campus at different times of the day and sometimes into the dorms to make sure everything is safe.

The cafe food is great, but eventually you'll get tired of the same stuff. Take my advice and try different, healthy foods everyday instead of resulting to ramen noodles or ordering pizza.

Dorm Life

Depending on where you're residing, it can be a good thing or a bad thing. Some dorms are clearly better than others, but only because they are older buildings and they haven't been renovated and properly cleaned.

Academic Rigor

The professors are very nice and they challenge you. However, some professors wish to see you become overwhelmed, but this is also a good thing because this will teach us to mature and act responsibly.

The cafeteria hours are also decent, and breakfast, complimentary breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after hours are all of the times that is available to students.

Dorm Life

As a freshman, you will be placed in one of two dormitories (2 for the girls and 2 for the guys). This is designed so that the freshman can bond and not feel overwhelmed by the upperclassmen. Sophomore year through your senior year you will have the choice to stay in any dormitory, including the Apartment Style Living building.

Dorm Life

I never knew dorm life could be so much fun. I recommend all students to live in dorms. Dorm life gives you a little taste on how it is living on your own.

Academic Rigor

The most difficult situations when dealing with our academic rigor is the tests. Tests are what most students have trouble with. It's something that is normal but it can be controlled.

Tips for prospective students

I realized in order to do well in school you have to set a goal. Setting a goal will help you to separate what you need to do instead of what you want to do. Having a goal will help get threw the year.

I give Lincoln University a high rate of 4.5 out of a 5.0. The school attends to every students needs and wants. Also, the professors are very helpful and caring.

Dorm Life

Dorm rooms are great. As of my sophomore year I have been living in Apartment Style Living (ASL), which comes with air conditioning, private rooms and bathrooms, kitchen space and a common area which is basically a living room. I highly recommend it for prospective students I love living here. The other dorm rooms are great as well, it makes bonding with your fellow students more accessible.

Academic Rigor

The academics are fit for what you decide to major in. There are some majors that require a higher work load than others, which can be expected. It's all about what you choose to get yourself into and how much you can handle.

Tips for prospective students

Its basically the same for every college, you have to make sure you stay on the ball and know how to balance the fun things with the academics. As long as you don't get caught up in just one of the two your bound to succeed.

I am not gonna lie. The food we have there is a step above high school cafe food. So its not the worst, and it's most definitely not the best. But there is a grill section in the cafe. I personally like the pizzas they have. Fries and burgers and onion rings? You decide.

Dorm Life

With the dorms, they aren't all that bad. Its normally the people who reside in the dorms that makes it worse. I know for sure that the male dorms would not be horrific to walk through it the men would actually act like men. The female dorms are decent in my opinion. Most of the rooms, i should say all, vary in size. You could end up in a decent sized room your first year and have enough space for you and your roommate, or have a room where you will have to make room.

Academic Rigor

Only you can make the class seem difficult. And if it is difficult, you have to find a way to make it less difficult. Either the learning center or talk with the professor one on on.

Tips for prospective students

Always go to class because its a small campus so the classes are like high school classes, just about 30 people per class. Thus the professor takes roll and your attendance is part of your overall grade.

In three sentences

The first HBCU, not Cheyney. A lot of changes coming the school. An amazing marching band.

Campus Safety

Campus safety always shuts down room parties. Freshmen dorms at Lincoln have curfew so when its past curfew people of the opposite sex are not allowed in the dorms and that is when campus safety walks around dorms to make sure everyone is out. Actually all the dorms on Lincoln campus have a curfew but campus safety always checks freshmen dorms more then anything.

Greek Life

Greek life is active on Lincoln Campus. Greeks are always doing community work on campus and off campus. If anyone was interested in pledging you need atleast 30 credits, freshmen can not pledge unless you are a transfer from another college and have 30 credits.

Clubs and Activities

I mentioned earlier in the things to do for fun about all the different clubs ans activities Lincoln has to offer.

What to do for fun

There are plenty of things to do on Lincolns campus for fun, it all depends on the type of person you are and what you are into. There are plenty of sports, modeling clubs, band, dance teams and clubs for your major. Lincoln has parties every now and then but clubs are everyday things and fun as well. Myself, I am in the band as dancer. I'm apart of Krush Groove dance line

Food and Dining

The food is okay I guess. I like food no matter what so it's rare that I won't like what's in the cafe. On Tuesday they have fried chicken and the lines are very long for that. We have a grill that serves pizza, burgers, and sandwiches everyday.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is pretty fun depending on which dorm you are placed in. My freshmen year I was placed in Hansberry and to me it was the best female dorm to live in.

Academic Rigor

Lincoln is a good school and will prepare you for life outside of college. Only you know your study habits and what your strength and weaknesses are, so never take on more then you can handle. Some classes are relatively easy whereas others can be difficult depending on your study habits. Professors are always available to help and there are always tutors. Take advantage of everything Lincoln has to offer academic wise and you should be succeed easily.

Tips for prospective students

My tips for prospective students is to not be afraid to come to Lincoln. Everyone is friendly and you will make friends in no time

In three sentences

Lincoln University is a good school. A very close knit family. The professors are friendly and willing to help you succeed as a student.

Anthony from Philadelphia, PA

Greek life is very prevalent on campus all the Greeks host events forums and parties

Clubs and Activities

I am in the Orange Crush Roaring Lions Marching Band and a brother of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity Incorporated. I have lots of fun I travel with the band play with quality musicians. If you are interested in dancing, twirling a flag or playing an Instrument I would suggest joining the band.

Great for these types of students

Students looking for a HBCU close to Philadelphia. Students looking for a small to medium campus size.

What to do for fun

We have a numerous amount of facilities that offer fun activities such as a theater, a game room, basketball and tennis courts, a gym and more.

Food and Dining

The food is ok. I wish it were better, but the hours are great the cafeteria is open all day and night.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is ok, it could be better in terms of newer buildings and furniture. The best dorm on campus is those who have 30 credits and a g.p.a. of 2.5 or higher. I this dorm you get your own suite with 4 or 5 suite-mates 2 bathrooms and a kitchen area.

Academic Rigor

At Lincoln University you get great education however like anywhere else it is up to you to pursue the opportunity to learn. Faculty are always willing to help the students and there are offices that provide the extra help outside of the classroom for students who seek it. The system is designed for the student to succeed

Tips for prospective students

Get involved in a organization, club or team.

In three sentences

Lincoln University is an institution that is rich in history and pride. It is a University that is small in size but has very close knit family orientated environment. Overall Lincoln University is a great place to have one of the best experiences that a HBCU can provide.

Dorm Life

The dorm life is amazing, the experience you have at Lincoln forms a family bond with nearly the whole campus. Lincoln University has a population of about 2000 undergrad student which will soon grow with the renovation and building of new dorms but with this population nearly everyone is known. No student is an outcast nor stranger.

Academic Rigor

The academic curriculum at Lincoln university can be very challenging at times but for the most part it is only challenging if the student does not prepare themselves during the course hours. the professor prepare you for every assignment or exam you may take as well as projects. if you procrastinate it will seem more challenging. Stay involved in the work and everything comes with ease.

Tips for prospective students

I would advise all students to understand that the transition from high school to college is a difficult one and you must be ready to put your all into your school work, start off by understanding the campus and do not overload yourself with extracurricular activities until you know you can handle both school work and other responsibilities. It will get hard but when you graduate and receive the degree it will be all worth it.

In three sentences

Lincoln University has the best faculty, administration & student atmosphere, it's another form of family. The newly renovated campus look amazing welcoming all with open arms. the curriculum and studies are top notch for the best education available.

Lincoln University PA is a wonderful university to belong to. It is the first HBCU ever and has a rich legacy. Lincoln University PA is always looking toward progressing to a better future for its students.

Current Student at Lincoln

Breakfast is the best thing in the cafe, and Tuesdays aka (Fried Chicken Tuesday)

Dorm Life

Dorm life is what you make it. Your RA's will become more like siblings that you can talk to and have a bond with, and you will make friends with the people in the dorms and when time comes to move out you will miss your dorm room, and friends. Its really like a family because the campus is small.

Academic Rigor

The Professors will push you to achieve your full potential.

Tips for prospective students

Visit the campus first so that you can make your own opinion. You will be welcomed and feel at home once you step on campus.

Campus Safety

Public Safety of campus is a big deal on campus. They are very on top of trespassing, and make sure that the students as well as administrators on campus are safe. If there is one thing that anyone would but sure of, it would be that Lincoln is a safe environment to life on as well as attend.

Greek Life

Greek Life is a big part of Lincoln University's campus. The Divine Nine is active on campus as well as two social fellowships. Greek Life is available for all students to be apart of starting their sophomore year with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. The Greeks on campus, host forums, parties, cookouts for students to attend and enjoy. They also hold study sessions and are apart of other clubs and organizations on campus.

Clubs and Activities

The different clubs and activities go from clubs in the different majors, national honor societies of the majors, as well as activities for community service hours and tutoring activities for students.

Great for these types of students

Again, Lincoln University is a very warm and family oriented campus. With the school being rather small compared to most campuses, everyone will eventually know everyone at one point during their four years hear. Everyone treats everyone as their brothers and sisters and only want to see each other succeed and will do anything necessary to help the next person out.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Their aren't many unusual traditions on campus, but I will say their is nothing that isn't willing to be done. Every year the Student Life and Development team come up with new ideas to keep students interested in doing positive things with their time as well as maximizing their abilities to succeed in their studies and on campus.

Bang for the buck

Lincoln University is a great environment. Most students, especially going away alone are nervous and are home sick really fast but the students at Lincoln are very warm and friendly. The university also has a lot of history and many very prestigious people have attended Lincoln.

What to do for fun

There are countless things to do for fun on Lincoln Universities campus. The university hosts events throughout the year for all students to attend as well as visitors off campus to attend as well. Homecoming is a big event where students are provided transportation to attend the football game versus our rival. During that weekend vendors come to sell jewelry and sometimes clothes. Alumni come to have cookouts and reminisce on their years at the university, as well as a party and concert. There are also fraternities and sororities on campus, who host parties as well as forums and programs for students to attend and enjoy. Student Life and Development also host different events for students. In the Student Union Building, there is a room where there is a pool table, ping pong table as well as a t.v. with a video came connected where students can enjoy their time with friends. They also host movie nights, with different movies students can watch in the theater. Spring Fling is another event in the spring that is hosted by Student Life and Development. There is usually a concert and party during that weekend as well as unity week which is when all sororities and fraternities host different events.

Food and Dining

Lincoln University recently paired with a new dining service, Thompson Hospitality Corporation. This food service is great and gives the students many options to choose from. Their is a station for fruits, stir fry, salad bar, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, pizza .. etc. The dining service along with the university also helps with portion control, however with the meal plan which all students have, students are allowed to each how many times they would like.

Dorm Life

Living on campus is definitely a five star experience. Lincoln University is smaller than most campus, with a population of only around 4500 students. With new construction, the campus has a fairly new dormitory which holds two, four and five persons suites. Each suite has one to two bathrooms, a common area with a couch and table as well as a small kitchen area. The other dorms on the campus are spread out and separated by gender. The university has plans to make a new dormitory on the far side of the campus, and construction on the older buildings.

Academic Rigor

I would give Lincoln University four stars for their academic rigor. The university has a great number or majors and career choice for the students attending. The university is also on the rise with many new programs being offered to students, some including different National organizations for students to be apart of, as well as many community service opportunities.

Tips for prospective students

Tips for prospective students from myself would be to be the best you can be while attending college. The transition from high school to college is very different, especially if you are going away and/or staying on campus. While experiencing being away, you learn a lot about yourself and the world around you. My best advice would be to make sure to balance having fun and prioritizing what your their for, your education. You are absolutely suppose to enjoy your years away from home as well as experiencing being on your own, however, attending college is not only expensive but one of the greatest investments of your life if that is what you make it.

In three sentences

Lincoln University is an amazing institution of higher learning for all who attend. The University gives us students many opportunities to excel in the classroom as well as scholarship opportunities to help with the cost of attending the university. Attending Lincoln University has been everything I've expected and more, I would recommend attending Lincoln to high school students who wish to attend a college or university.

A Proud Lincoln Student

The safety on this campus makes you feel as if you are always safe and someone is watching your back for you. They do a good job in regulating the campus.

Greek Life

The whole divine nine is present except for Kappa Alpha Psi. The Greek on this campus are very friendly and personable, and they all get along.

Clubs and Activities

Their are several clubs and activities to do on and off the campus.

Great for these types of students

Lincoln University is good for student who like to get and be involved, also for students who like do like to be in a city atmosphere.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

On Lincoln University campus we celebrate almost everything.Helping to bring the students closer.

What to do for fun

Their are not many thing to do for fun around the campus, but the office of Student Life and Development has made campus fun free and fun.

Food and Dining

The food is all you can eat while you are in the cafe. the staff is friendly although the food is not like how mum would make it they do a good job at keeping it consistent and clean.

Dorm Life

Their is only one co-ed dorm that is located at the university and several only boys and girls dorms. The apartment style living dorms are only for upperclassmen with a 2.5 and higher G.P.A. The regular dorms all house many students and are cleaned regularly by the custodian staff.

Tips for prospective students

If you plan on attending, make sure you understand that Lincoln University is not surrounded by a city with close access to public transportation.

In three sentences

Lincoln University is the first HBCU. Founded in 1854 Lincoln sits in the hearts of many students as home.Every student is different, but have so many similarity's.

Brandi from Philadelphia, PA

We do have the Divine 9. BUT, The Kappas are suspended, and the AKA's aren't active. We, also have 2 social fellowships, Swing Phi Swing and their brothers, the Grooves.

Clubs and Activities

We have over 140 organizations. Personally, I'm apart of 1. Student Government Association 2. WE are 1 Modeling Troupe 3. I SPIT (Infinite Supply of Passionate Intense Talent) Poetry Family 4. Tour Guide

Great for these types of students

Lincoln is only made for the strong. If you can't handle diversity within a culture, than it's not for you. If you're worried that it's too many black people and can't embrace the distinctions amongst EVERYONE than it's NOT for you.

Bang for the buck

I LOVE my school. The individuality each student possess, is beautiful, believe me. Yet, to be the first HBCU our standards are quite low. We teach, to get by, instead of excelling past those ideals. Overall, we're improving and advancing the legacy but it's not where it's NEEDS to be, and personally, only if you're willing to contribute to change should you attend.

What to do for fun

As said, you'll only enjoy this campus, when you're involved on this campus. Find something you like. We're in the middle of nowhere, freshmans can't have cars... SO, get involved. I'm a freshman, and I'm involved in 4 different organizations Student Government Association included, so just get involved. Every weekend is a guaranteed party, believe me. Other than that... there's NOTHING.

Food and Dining

Our cafe, stays open till midnight, that's truthfully the only perk. The breakfast is the best meal of the day, honestly. Every Tuesday, is fried chicken Tuesday. Our cafe isn't diverse, whatsoever.

Dorm Life

The dorms are HORRIBLE. It's hot during summer, cold during winter. Bottom Line. There is NO elevators, but in the only TWO co-ed dorms on this building. The rooms are small, and the buildings are quite old, and the rules and restrictions are crazy. No inter-visitation after hours, ridiculous fines, everything.

Academic Rigor

As far as academics, we're accredited. But, we are very relaxed. Minimum GPA is a 2.4, and most students take their academics lightly.

Tips for prospective students

TOUR the campus first though. Check out the campus before you make the decision to go here, just to make sure its for you, and you can tolerate it.

In three sentences

Lincoln University is a family. The more you get involved, the more love and pride you will have for the University. And though, it's an HBCU it is still diversified. There's so many different cultures of black here. It's beautiful.

What to do for fun

In order to have fun or enjoy campus life students generally joined activities or clubs. There are all types of clubs ranging from foreign language to modeling. Anything that interest you or your good at come show your talent. Besides activities and clubs they are always sports and parties to attend on the weekends to keep the weekends productive.

Food and Dining

Every students meal plan is unlimited, meaning students can eat anytime and as many time as they want per day. The dining hall is closed at midnight and between meal times like breakfast, lunch and dinner food is not permitted to leave the hall.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is pretty straight forward, students should follow the rules as to what is allowed and what is not allowed in the dormitory. The housing community put together activities and forums for students to get to know their roommates and others living in the building.

Academic Rigor

Student will generally face academic rigor depending on how they manage their time. There are tutoring with professors in the subject the student needs help with and peer tutoring. It's up to the Student to seek help and dedicate time to studying. Subject students mostly find difficulty with is language and math courses.

Tips for prospective students

I suggest prospective students to be open and leave the shyness in high school. If you don't make friends upon entering first couple of weeks is going to be boring and will consist of you being in your room. This is why the school host activities during transition week to help students get to know each other and make friends.

In three sentences

Lincoln Univeristy is a good school to attend, freshmen students are most likely to focus since there isn't really anything off campus to distract us because the school located in the suburbs country like area. First year students are also not allowed to have a car on campus so this makes it hard for them to get around off campus unless they have a friend who is willing to take them.

Tips for prospective students

Lincoln University is like other colleges, You will have study notes a lot to prepare for tests. My advice for students is to alway give effort and stay on top of the books because it can get challenging.

Am enjoying being here

Lincoln University choose me. It's a good school to attend and I like it because the campus is smaller. Also you can easily get more help at Lincoln than a larger University.

Am learning a lot

I think Lincoln University teaches me a lot. Lincoln is a smaller college so it's a more comfortable way to involve in the classes room and ask professors for help.

Tips for prospective students

Keep up with your studies. Not everyone is your friend. Keep everything to yourself. That is the best way to survive, not just on this campus but on every college campus, including in life. I want everyone to enjoy their time at this school the best way they can.

Bang for the buck

Not really sure about it now. If I had to say it, out-of-state students have to work hard, even before they get into college. This university has great scholarships but when it comes to everything else, I tend to find it to be overpriced.

Did enjoy being here

Everything about this University wasn't bad, education wise. But when it came to a social life at the school, everyone took everyone's life and twisted it. I had social interest in this campus when I first arrived but when that interest somehow became public I didn't enjoy the looks that I got and the ridiculous rumors that I had heard about me. Majority of the rumors were not true. The only true rumor was that I was a social butterfly, a free-spirit as some of the people I hung around called me.

Did learn a lot

I enjoyed the fact that even as an HBCU, it offered Japanese courses. Not many black colleges can say that and know that students are actively taking the class. I was one of the students of this class and even though many of the students didn't really want to take the class, at least the few who did enjoyed the class.

Hadiyyah from Bogota, NJ

It's great for anyone who wants to learn but especially for someone who wants to experience life at an HBCU.

Tips for prospective students

Take advantage of everything that Lincoln offers.

Am enjoying being here

Rural Lincoln University is a huge change from living in the city all of my life in New Jersey but, the college is everything I ever wanted the school of my choice to be. It's small so things like one on one help is accessible and even people that aren't teachers are always there for your assistance. When classes aren't in session the campus always has fun and informative things to do on campus. I recommend this school to anyone and everyone. And if an HBCU is on the list of a criteria you want your school to have why not attend the very first one.

Am learning a lot

Everyone at Lincoln is willing to help you and everyone genuinely cares. They are there for assistance and to answer questions because they all want to see you succeed.

Great for these types of students

Its great for the type of student who isn't afraid to ask for help and have resources at your disposal. Its also very good for the student who doesn't mind attending a relatively small university. It allows you to be comfortable with your surroundings as well properly develop yourself as a person.

Tips for prospective students

A great idea is to take advantage of the transition week. Take the time to make good friends and get acquainted with your student leaders. It allows you to have the resources at your disposal to make Lincoln a great experience. Do not be so eager to fill your plate with extra curricular activities before establishing your GPA, and you will reach astounding heights at Lincoln University.

Bang for the buck

With the location of the campus, it keeps your focus on your campus life as opposed to the various activities going on in the city. You certainly learn a lot even in your first year. You get an extensive knowledge about the campus you're attending and the legacy that you can be proud of. It certainly is a great investment for any individual.

Am enjoying being here

From the first day, you meet very interesting and nice people. It is a very welcoming environment. In my case coming from out of state, it allowed me to get to know my fellow peers before entering the academic aspect of Lincoln. With the various clubs and organizations, it makes it very easy to be exposed to various people and make Lincoln a relaxing and welcoming environment.

Am learning a lot

After my first semester at Lincoln University, my knowledge increased significantly. With core curriculum classes that allow you to adjust to the college workload, it helps you gain confidence as a student, and allows you to choose your major with enough flexibility take the classes when you want to.

Moulangerie from Se Palmbay, FL

This School is great for students who love to get involved with campus activities and clubs its swarming with those.

Tips for prospective students

Look deep into this school before attending visit and make sure it is for you.

Bang for the buck

Money wise i would have to say i feel as though the price is a little steep for this school but there is plenty of financial aid available. For students who get good grades they receive free room and bored sometimes tuition and etc.

Am enjoying being here

Lincoln University is located in a rural area, we have a bus that comes on campus but it does not run all day. There are not any stores you can get to without a vehicle . although that can be quite depressing we have a bookstore stocked with almost everything you need a lair which is a recreation center and a bagel place on campus. It is not all a losing battle; Lincoln also has various forums and activities to go to all day everyday

Am learning a lot

When it comes to education Lincoln University is very keen on that. Lincoln takes a low tolerance to failure. Although they do have programs that are designed to help students who have a hard time its up to the student to take advantage. The classes are difficult once they increase in levels. Depending on the students major and understanding some of the teachers may be hard to understand other than that the academic here are very good.

Great for these types of students

This school is great for students who want to go to a small school. In size, Lincoln University has a small campus and within your first week you will be able to locate every building. In population, Lincoln has close to about 2000 students. Students are not just a number. Teachers actually know students by name. By the end of the semester, you can recognize everyone's face on campus.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be so narrowed minded. Looks are not everything. Campuses that look the best cost the most. Lincoln University may not look the best but it has some of the hardest working students who trying their best to continue that great Lincoln legacy. Also the best way to enjoy your stay at Lincoln is to join an organization. It really gets you involved.

Bang for the buck

As an out of state student for New Jersey, Lincoln University is cheaper than some schools that are in state. Since Lincoln University is the first HBCU founded in 1854, the administration is continuing to keep the campus up to date. Recently, the communication program received new radio and television programming equipment. Also, Lincoln gives merit award scholarships. If you have a good GPA and SAT score coming out of high school, Lincoln could award you money towards tuition, room and board, and/or fees.

Am enjoying being here

As a freshmen, it will take some time getting use to. Lincoln University is in rural Pennyslavia. Most students are in a whole new environment. After a couple of weeks, the distance from home won't even matter because everyone is sure to fit someway. By the time my first semester ended, I was a member of 3 organizations. Each week there are plenty of events on campus. Forums, community service, and parties really gets everyone involved.

Am learning a lot

Academics are not taking lightly at Lincoln University. Every student is responsible for their own work. There are mandatory classes that all students must take. Some include First Year Experience, African American Experience, Dimensions of Wellness, English Composition, etc. I'm glad Lincoln University made these classes apart of the curriculum because now I'm learning things I was never interested in. It makes me more of a well rounded person.

Nicholas from Washington, DC

Students who like to get their work done and have fun at the same time; Lincoln is definitely for you. We take our academics very seriously, but also know how to have fun.

Tips for prospective students

Come to Lincoln with an open mind, ready to try new things, and meet new people. Use Facebook as a means of connecting with people who are enrolled students at Lincoln, and ask questions before coming to Lincoln so that you may get different perspectives from different types of people.

Bang for the buck

Lincoln is definitely worth every dollar you will spend in tuition. The overall college experience on Lincoln's campus is a tremendous encounter which you will not endure anywhere else.

Am enjoying being here

Lincoln is my home away from home. It may sound cliche, but it is true. I actually enjoy being on campus more than I enjoy being home. Most of the people on Lincoln's campus are warm and welcoming. I have many friends who are also my support system aside from my family at home. People at Lincoln make you feel like you are apart of their families.

Am learning a lot

Lincoln University was not one of my first choices, however, I am glad that I decided to attend. Many of the courses I have taken have professors who are very good with communicating information to the students. I have learned numerous things that range from practices in Hinduism to how to find logarithms of numbers.
